The most remarkable feature Of the
Anti Poverty movement In New York Is
that which may be called Its social side.
II a member Of any district association In
the Democratic or Republican party were
to go to q regular meeting Of his organi.
zation accompanied by his wife and chill.
dren, his appearance would be the reason
OF unrestrained amazement. Yet this is
precisely what the members Of the new
party do, and they seem to regard the
movement as proper, as though 1t were
sanctioned by tradition and long usage.
In some districts women even participate
In business meetings and take part In the
debate. This does net, however, appear
to be the general custom. Every district
association holds what 1t calls Its zen.
tertainment" as frequently as It holds Its
business meetings. The members OF the
new party take their wives, sisters and
sweethearts, and ever their children, 10
their political gatherings. and oratory,
music and recitation take the place often
held by beer and tobacco as the attrac.
tons at ordinary party meetings. Drink.
ing and smoking by tacit consent. Is
practically forbidden at the labor meet
ings. A piano is almost as necessary as q
Secretary's table to the proper furnish.
ing of q permanent district headquarters
for the United Labor party. and this In.
strument Is the center Of attraction on
entertainment evenings.

Presbyterian Reunion.

Colonel livingston, of Georgia, hi, very
near the bull's.eye In his speech before
the Southern Presbyterian Assembly at
st. Louis on Thursday afternoon of last
week, In saying that when all other inter
ests were burying the issues and dIfferen.
ces OF the war, the Church should not be
the last to harmonic. The utterance
was made as part OF an impassioned
speech in favor Of union with the North.
ern Assembly and Is characterized by
good, hard sense.
II Is not claimed that In doctrine or
church government Southern Presbyteri.
anism differs from Northern Presbyteri
anism. The original division was caused
when In 1861. the General Assembly in
session In Philadelphia, declared that no
member OF the church should bear arms
against the government, and the sole
cause OF the division has passed away
forever.
What Is true OF the Presbyterian
Church Is just as true of the Methodist
Episcopal body and other organizations.
IT Is time that these great religious bodies
awoke to the fact that they are behind
everybody else in accepting the results Of
the war. Instead of being in the fore.
ground of the effort to harmonize the sec.
tons, as their profession of peace aud
good will TO men requires them to be,
they are still maintaining sectional dis
tinctions for which there does not exist a
shadow Of reason.-Phila. Times.

Doctrine of Mr.. George.

The question of the value and owner.
ship Of land is one in which the laboring
classes Of East Tennessee are much in.
terested. not only because 1t is attracting
the attention Of the working men every.
where. but because many Of the East
Tennessee laboring people own small
farms or cottages and los in the towns.
and consequently they a appreciate
the absurdity Of the doctrine promulgated
by Mr.. George, Of New York. On this
subject the New York Tribune says.
The fundamental doctrine Of Mr..
George, which q correspondent asks us
to state and explain. Is the notion that
no man has or al acquire q right to the
ownership Of the land. His theory Is
that the value of the land Is not created
by mans labor, and therefore cannot be
properly appropriated by individuals.
The truth Is that the part of the value Of
land which Is the result of mans labor
Is infinitely the greater part, and is alb
solutely inseparable from the value, II
there ever was any, existing in the land
Independently of such labor. Name a
tract Of ground anywhere and examine
its history closely and 1t will be found
that Its value has been created by the
building Of roads. the creation Of means
of reaching 1t and transporting products
from 1t. by the clearing. fencing and
other Improvements Of that and adjacent
lands, by the growth of villages, towns
and cities more or less near the land in
question, by the building of stores and
churches, railroads, canals or turnpikes,
and, in a word, by oil progress Of civil.
cation from the earliest settlement Of that
region TO this day. As q rule, the land
itself has no value which is not the re-
suit of human industry.
The value thus created must belong to
somebody, and be capable Of transmits
sion from n person to another. This
Is necessary to the welfare of civilized
society, because the creation OF such val
ues by the improvement Of lands and the
construction Of means Of communication,
would be arrested If the land were not
the property of individuals. The inf.
nitely larger proportion Of value which
Is created by mans labor must be indl-
vidually owned, that being necessary to
the progress OF society. The infinitely
smaller proportion not so created, II any
such value in q particular case exists
must therefore be also individually
owned, because lis separation from the
other and far greater value Is impracti
cable. Nor Is 1t practicable ever to de
termine whether land has or would havf

Tho Flood Of Immigrants.

The tide of immigrants from Europe
TO this country Is rising and flowing In
greater volume than It has since the fam
Inc year Of '4S. Thus far this year over
1sS, 900 immigrants have landed at Castle
Garden alone. . against 8 1900 in the
same period last year.
Yin the past half century the United
States have received nearly ten million
emigrants. ireland and Germany con-
tributing over three million each. In
1882 over 1900 persons a day arrived in
mis- country, making that year mark the
Of the immigrants who have arrived
In this country since 1882, the New York
Post, after an analysis of the facts prc.
sented In the Treasury reports. states that
only ten per cent. have been skilled Ia

enormous overflow into this country OF

skilled foreigners y impossible to esti.

years Of the Bohemian and German agi.

done 70 prevent the flooding of the couns

to make II moral and civil morass in
certain sections. The bills regulating
and prohibiting the importation Of for
eaign contract labor Is n step in this direc-
tion. the laws prohibiting the immigra.

themselves Is another step. but o greater
stride In the direction Of regulating i'm.

No American who has ever visited
Europe has attracted more attention than
Buffalo Bill. General Grant, when he
went there did not occupy a larger place
In the minds Of the British public than
Buffalo Bill. Although Mr.. Cody has
not been In London over q month he Is to.
day as well known to the masses Of that
great city Of 5000. 900 as Is the Queen.
One could not pick up in the most obscure
part OF London any one so ignorant as to
not know who and what he Is. His name
is on every wall. His picture is in nearly
every window. Heis as much In demand
at all kinds Of high society gatherings as II
he were q visiting Prince. Indeed few
visiting Princes could have as many In
vitations thrust upon them as he has had
since his arrival there. He Is obliged To
refuse the majority Of the invitations
which pursue him.

There seems TO be a remarkable o
tality among those men who In later
years have been honored by the people
with the high Offices Of the presidency
and vice presidency. and even among
those whose aspirations have been en-
couraged by nominations on presidential
tickets, While this may be due largely
to the advanced years Of many who have
been distinguished as candidates for, or.
as holders Of; the offices mentioned, n
number Of them have not reached a hoary
age. The death of ex Vice. President
Wheeler leaves only only one man living
who ever occupied that position. That
man Is Hannibal Hamblin. Four gentle.
men are still living who haye nominally
filled the Office by virtue Of being Presl.
dent Of the Senatc--Ferry. Bayard. Sher-
man and Edmunds; but Mr.. Wheeler
was the last with the exception Of
Hamlln Of those who held the position
by virtue Of an election. Mr.. Ruth.
crford b. Hayes Is the only living ex.
president. Only two Of the unsuccessful
candidates for ylce.president on the tick
ct Of either Of the great parties are now
In the land Of the living. These are
George II. Pendleton and VIM. II. En-
glish. Only one Of the men who have
been unsuccessful candidates for presi-
dent on the tickets Of the two big parties
Is living, aud he Is James G.. Blaine.
Within the past two years two ex-presi-
dents, Grant and Arthur, and three ex.
vicc.prcsidents. Colfax, Wheeler and
Hendricks. have died. Four might be
counted, as Arthur had also been vice.
president Within that period four un-
successful candidates for tho presidency,
Mcclellan, Seymour, Tilden and Han
cock, and two unsuccessful nominees for
the vice.prcsidency, B. Gratz Brown and
Logan, have gone thc,wsy Of the world.

Physical Education Of Youth

One Of the most important Of the
many modern improvements lately In.
troduced into the best schools Is the sys.
tematic physical training Of the pupils.
Everybody knows how impossible must
be the healthy development Of a child If
his mental faculties are trained at -
neglect Of his bodily health, and jef
many teachers. and most parents. seem
to act upon the theory that If only d
child can be made to study, his physical
training will take care Of itself.
An illustration Of the working Of this
theory in the public schools was lately
given In New York. where Congressman
Brice offered the nomination to o cadet
ship at Annapolis to the boy in his disA
trict who should pass the best COMPETE
tive examination. Twelve lads, between
the ages of fourteen and eighteen, pre-
sentcd themselves for the trial, but not
one Of the twelve was found to answer
the physical qualifications required for
admission to the Academy. One was
rejected because he was under the mini.
mum stature. hut the others for III health
three for defective eyesight and four
for malformation Of the chest, or heart
troubles.
This single experience Is very instruc
tive. No doubt these were oil bright
lads and the pride Of their parents and
teachers. But while they were bending
over their books at school nobody had
ever thought it worth while to consider
what was likely to become of their lungs
or their hearts or their eyes, and The poor
boys find themselves, on the threshold of
manhood, without the health or strength
that might have opened to them a bright
career. II Is essential that the boys and
girls Of both public and private schools
be made TO spend less time In the study
and class Dor and more in the gymna.
stun and playground, under guidance
not less careful In the latter chse than In
the former.

A MONUMENT erected in Washington to
the memory Of the martyred President,
James A. Garfield, was unveiled recently.
The sons Of the dead statesman were pres
cnt to participate in the exercises. While
In the city they called at the White House
and presented their cards to the doorkeep,
ers, but were refused admission. 1t is
but justice to state that when President
Cleveland heard of the matter he express
ed his disappointment that he did not
meet tie boys. He should have gone
further and severely reprimanded the
doorkecper, who has evidently been
schooled in the art Of snubbing people.
